IUI \u2013 Intrauterine Insemination <\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]The introduction of the sperm sample into the uterine cavity may be performed to increase the \u00ad\u00ad\u00adnumber of sperm in the upper genital tract.\u00a0 In certain individuals this may increase the likelihood of conception.\u00a0 IUI\u00a0bypasses cervical and vaginal factors preventing sperm entry into the uterus.\u00a0 In cases with borderline semen parameters, we are able to compensate for male factor infertility.<\/p>\n

In order to introduce the sperm into the uterine cavity the semen has to be treated to remove chemicals in the liquid portion of the semen which may cause irritation of the uterus. \u00a0The washing procedure takes about 2 hours. \u00a0Sperm samples are most often collected in the clinic to assure a prompt delivery to the lab.\u00a0 Once in the lab, the specimen will be allowed to liquefy.\u00a0 Different types of special liquids called sperm wash or speedikit media are used to rinse the debris and chemicals from the semen.\u00a0 The concentrated mixture that remains is made mostly of sperm.\u00a0 Gradient washes are often done to improve the concentration and selection of motile sperm.\u00a0 The washed sperm is now safe and ready for insertion into the uterus.<\/p>\n

The insemination is a relatively simple procedure which can be accomplished in the clinic without anesthesia.\u00a0 A small plastic catheter (tube) is used to insert the specimen into the uterine cavity through the cervix.\u00a0 A small amount of leakage and\/or spotting may occur after the procedure.\u00a0 This does not reduce the effectiveness of the technique. \u00a0Once the procedure is completed there is no limitation of activity.\u00a0 There is no benefit from lying flat after the IUI procedure despite common myths.<\/p>\n

The procedure is done only once per cycle because the time of ovulation can be accurately predicted and the insemination can be timed to coincide with the release of the eggs.\u00a0\u00a0Once inside the uterus, the sperm will rapidly disperse throughout the reproductive tract.\u00a0 Surface tension and motion from the fallopian tubes help with this process.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”IUI” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLW5vY29va2llLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGckNVUmprOGdQWk0lMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”IUTPI” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGa21fcklfeUE2Y3clMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”ivf”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”]

IVF \u2013 In Vitro Fertilization or ICSI \u2013 Intracytoplasmic Single Sperm Insemination <\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]Intracytoplasmic Single Sperm Insemination is a procedure involving the stimulation of multiple\u00a0eggs\u00a0using medications, called GNRH (IVF-M, IVF-C, Follitrope), that are similar to natural hormones (FSH) that cause eggs to grow.\u00a0 The growing follicles\u00a0each contain 1\u00a0egg and\u00a0are monitored using ultrasound exams.\u00a0 When the follicles reach the appropriate size, they are retrieved, or harvested,\u00a0at the appropriate time.\u00a0 After the eggs are collected, they are combined with the sperm in a dish (conventional insemination called IVF), or the sperm is directly injected into the sperm (ICSI, or intracytoplasmic sperm injection).\u00a0 After fertilization in the lab, the resulting embryos are grown (cultured) for 5 to 6 days.\u00a0 The embryos may be transferred at this point or frozen for use at a later time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”IVF” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGVEU0c2w4TmJrZlUlMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”ICSI” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGSnpDVE9YZXhHS2slMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”fet”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”]
